Food for Thought

I haven't made it all the way through yet, but there's a pretty good NY Times magazine article up on their Web site about how the notion of what cooking is has transformed in America. Parts of it are making me wish I was in a kitchen right now (The first time I successfully flipped a Spanish tortilla in the air, I cried out a loud, unrestrained, "Yes!") and the other parts are making me realize that I sadly don't cook enough (hello, rotisserie chicken in my fridge right now). It's worth the read for anyone that enjoys back to basics cooking:

In another note, if you're in the D.C. area, you can see Julia Child's kitchen in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. It's worth it!
